The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Jaconé.
Right now, the surf is flat. Thursday afternoon and all of Friday are a write-off – tiny, choppy, and messy. We’re looking at a couple of days with nothing worth paddling out for. Hang tight, because Saturday the 25th is where it starts to get interesting.
Saturday morning the 25th, we’ve got a clean 5ft S swell rolling in at 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (452), and with glassy conditions, it’s the first real chance to get a wave. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be smooth. Sunday morning the 26th is even better – a 3ft S groundswell with a very long 14-second period, pumping in with strong energy (614). Glassy conditions again and that long period will mean proper, lined-up waves. This is a standout for the whole forecast. The water is a warm 72°, which is about average for this time of year.
The next week has some fun mornings, with clean conditions and small, rideable S swell. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings are all glassy or offshore, with chest-high waves. Nothing huge, but clean and fun for a log or a mid-length.
Then we get to a serious pulse. Tuesday the 4th of August is a beauty. Morning brings 6ft S swell (736 combined energy) with clean offshore NE wind. Afternoon holds 6ft S swell (852 energy). That’s solid, punchy surf. Wednesday the 5th of August is the big one – 8ft SE swell, 9-second period, with a massive 1126 combined energy. That’s expert territory. Very strong, powerful surf. Only for experienced surfers. Thursday the 6th of August is similar, with 7ft ESE swell (1308 energy) in the morning. This stretch from the 4th to the 6th is the true stand-out period.
The swell drops off after that, but Friday the 7th still has fun, clean 5ft to 5ft ESE swell. Overall, the best waves are the Sunday the 26th morning glassy session and the big swells from the 4th to the 6th of August. Don’t sleep on that Sunday morning.
Rusty out.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
